.save to save the day! Some code below where I save my "pdf" that I created.

https://googleapis.dev/nodejs/storage/latest/File.html#save

const { Storage } = require("@google-cloud/storage");

const gc = new Storage({
  keyFilename: path.join(__dirname, "./path to your service account .json"),
  projectId: "your project id",
});

      const file = gc.bucket(bucketName).file("tester.pdf");
      file.save(pdf, (err) => {
        if (!err) {
          console.log("cool");
        } else {
          console.log("error " + err);
        }
      });
